THATCHER, PRIMROSE & WEST. A large audience greeted Thatcher, Prim- rose'& Vests minstrel troupe at Carll's Opera House last night It was highly apprecia- tive and enthusiastic one, and the jokes and the several acts and sketches made big hits.

 NATIONAL OPERA.
 The performance of 'tFaust'' will take place at Carlls Opera House tonight New Haveners are indeed fortunate in being able to hear Gounod's greatest opera as sung by the American Opera company in English by great American artists and chorus of 100 voices. No opera has ever before been seen in this country, says an exchange, with such an ensemble as the National Opera company shows. Its scenery is beautiful and archseo- logically correct, it's costumes gorgeous and costly in material, it's chorus very large and composed of fresh young voices and well trained, and it's orchestra without exception the finest in Am orica.
 BUNNELL's GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 We are doing "May Blossom," said MT. Charles H. Hicks, who represents Mir. Gus. tave Frohman in the tour of Benjamin Ma ginley in s'May Blossom,'' better in a sense than it has ever been done in the last two seasons during which it has been on the boards The people will be better pleased with our version of it, which, while it sticks to David Belasco's original story, departs little further in the direction of comedy and makea Parson Uncle Bartlett the real hero of the story. Benjamin Maginley, who played Tom Blossom over six hundred times, has made an equal hit with the Parson and brought it to the front just as he dld his old part. The company is we'll balanced and gives charming performance. New don't take my word for this, but drop in at Bun nell's next Monday evening and judge for yourself and speak of it just you 6nd it. .'The Pavements of Paris' will be produced the remsinder of the week at Bunnell's. Standing room only is the rule this week. In the museum hall the German rose and Cap tain Liable are the leading attractions
